Mi casa
2008年03月06日
スペインにある我が家です。
昔はエントランスやエレベーター、家の中もめっちゃでかく感じてたんだけど、12年ぶりに中に入ってみると、50センチほど背が高くなったせいかすこし小さく感じました。色んな意味で大きくなったなぁと実感しました(笑)



My house
6th March 2008
This is our home in Spain.
It felt like old times when I went in the entrance, the elevator and all the different parts of the house. But going back in after 12 years, and having grown about 50cm taller, it ended up feeling a little small. I realized that I've grown in so many ways (*laugh*)

Okiri, Okama & Ora

Johnny's no doubt, is responsible for the legions of squealing fans that chase after the boys. Today, I learned a new word オリキ (okiri) that would apply to me when I get to Tokyo. The word comes from the marrying of 追っかけ (chase) and 力 (strength). So as you can guess, it can refer to idol-chasers, groupies or the paparazzi. But enough with the kanji, on with the story.

So the story is Ikuta Toma and Hey Say Jump's Yamada Ryosuke are both now being chased by an exceptionally ardent okiri. The same one. And not just the usual kyaakyaa one, this one's a man. The report refers to him as okama (which could range in meaning from effeminate to gay to transvestite). He'll wait at the studio where Toma is filming from early morning, chewing gum and grinning. The staff at the studio shoos him away but he'll always turn up again. On the days he's not there, he's stalking Yamada. It's been going on every day, alternating between the two. Toma lives in a Johnny-rented apartment near the studio and he turns up there too. Johnny's Jimusho is supposedly considering taking legal action.

Next, on Okada Junichi. He's worried that he has 'no aura'. *cue kayashima music* He's known as a calm guy who doesn't get worked up much. But in an incident a few days back, he got really mad. He had to do some PR work at a television station and came in early. The staff had been informed beforehand that the usual practice of 顔パス (face pass) is enforced. It basically means you're let in because your face is already well-known. The guard at that time was an elderly man and he asked Junichi to show his visitor's pass. He replied that he is Okada. The guard asked him "Which Okada are you?" Junichi handed him a piece of paper with V6 written on it. The guard radioed in and asked "Are you expecting Okada-san of V roku ?" (roku = 6 in japanese ~haha) At that moment, Junichi shouted "How could it be V roku ?! It's V six !" The staff came running along and apologized profusely. Junichi said "I couldn't get in with a face pass, maybe I don't have the aura...."

No, I didn't make that up, but it sounds like some no-scoop reporter did :D

In one's life, I think the 20th birthday is a turning point. Being here during filming with everyone and furthermore receiving all their congratulations, I'm really happy !

14th Jan 『Hana Yori Dango Final』 Crank in !!
1st March 2008

● Hana Yori Dango Final Crank in Press Conference
14th January (Monday) Tokyo ・ Shiodome Conrad Tokyo


14th January 2008 (Monday) Hana Yori Dango Final crank in !!
On this day, a large-scale HanaDan like location shoot takes place. Each of TBS subsidiary reporters & cameramen, reporters & cameramen from television guide magazines, volunteer extras from the internet, gathered for a large assembly at the hotel in Shiodome, Conrad Tokyo ! After filming, a report on the press release !

hanadan010308.jpg

David Ito:
Everyone, here we are after a long wait. Thank you very much for assembling here for the marriage announcement of Japan's very own Doumyouji Holdings representative, Doumyouji Tsukasa. For gracing us with your attendance, the representative himself would like to express his thanks as we continue with the rest of the proceedings. So, please welcome our representative with a big applause, Doumyouji Tsukasa !

Matsumoto Jun :
Japan must be busy, I receive with thanks the many country bumpkins from the countryside who are in attendance today (*laugh*)
Commoners, good evening. Doumyouji Tsukasa here.

David Ito:
Representative, is it not too much to say such a thing...

Matsumoto Jun :
Well, it's that kind of set na ! Jaa, pardon my rudeness...
(while exuding an important air, sitting down and crossing his legs)

David Ito :
Well then, please pardon my rudeness. Allow me to make an introduction again, the representative's fiancee, Makino-sama. Our very own Doumyouji Holdings representative, Doumyouji Tsukasa, will officially be married next spring. The representative's heart has been captured and thereafter never let go, it's the woman of his destiny, here is the person, Makino Tsukushi-sama !

(From the screen used to project the one of the earlier scenes, Tsukushi's face starts to appear but...)

hanadan010308b.jpg

Inoue Mao :
Hello~ !!! (*laugh*)
(Mao-chan appears from one of the entrances)

Matsumoto Jun :
Ano, excuse me...

Inoue Mao :
Somehow it seems that only one chair is prepared, but this is the leading part Makino Tsukushi here !!

Matsumoto Jun :
Ahahaha (*laugh*)
Go ahead, please take a seat ! Go ahead !!

Inoue Mao :
How come you're monopolising such a large audience, a bit sneaky isn't it ?

Matsumoto Jun :
Ano, excuse me. Are you jealous ?
The people are assembled here today because Doumyouji Tsukasa is here isn't it ?

Inoue Mao :
Um, who knows ne (*laugh*)

Matsumoto Jun :
First, can you confirm something ? Tsukushi's image appeared just now, after that both Doumyouji Tsukasa and Nishida are supposed to say something but...

David Ito :
How many times have we gone over this in the waiting room ne ?

Matsumoto Jun :
Confirm it ! What is it ?

David Ito :
The scene that you brought up was a completely different scene ! (*laugh*)

Inoue Mao :
No~!! (*laugh*)

Matsumoto Jun :
Ano, isn't it the first day ?! Are we going to have such a thing from the first day ?

David Ito :
It's a surprise from Inoue Mao-sama !

Inoue Mao :
Yes, were you surprised ?

Matsumoto Jun :
You, go cram for your exams !!

Inoue Mao :
Ahahahaha (*laugh*)

hanadan010308c.jpg

David Ito :
I'll do the introductions again. Playing the role of Makino Tsukushi, Inoue Mao-san. And assuming the post of chairman, Doumyouji Tsukasa's private secretary, David Ito as Nishida, yoroshiku onegai shimasu. Without further delay, their thoughts on the crank in, one at a time please.

Matsumoto Jun :
Speaking all high and mighty before, pardon my rudeness ! I was one step ahead of the crank in. I feel like finally, it is starting ne. Including those who are here today, we have co-operation from many other people, it's really wonderful. It's really enjoyable. Just by taking in this scene, I get the feeling that I've returned to the HanaDan world.

Inoue Mao :
We did the still shots (photographs) a little earlier than the crank in. There's still some way to go before the movie opens but starting from now, I think we will start to warm up and go on hereafter. Everyone, yoroshiku onegai shimasu.

David Ito :
Well then, acting as a representive, I will ask some questions. By the way, Mao-san, what time did you get in today ?

Inoue Mao :
About 2pm was it ?
(It was about 5pm at that time...)

Matsumoto Jun :
Early ne (*laugh*)
Gomen ne, pressure !

David Ito :
Let's review, today is really the start of crank-in, and for the sake of everyone, the staff has returned. After meeting them, how did it go ?

Matsumoto Jun :
Before coming here today, I went to a shop and got my nails painted, yesterday we had scenario reading, the day before yesterday, Doumyouji's hair was made up. I spent about 3 days with the feel of HanaDan and finally filming starts today. I get the feeling that we are really actually starting ne. When I went up this stage, I feel like Doumyouji has returned, a switch has been flipped. Just as I thought, it feels great ne. The usual big-shot attitude still has not appeared readily though (*laugh*). Being surrounded by so many people right from the very first scene was a lot of pressure ne... I thought of snapping my fingers but no sound came out at all (*laugh*).

David Ito :
So it was. Inoue Mao-san who was here from 2pm, before the still shots, it was the crank in ?

Inoue Mao :
Yes. Hmm, somehow it turned out a lot different that what I thought (*laugh*)
The crank-in was done quietly at a ramen shop...

David Ito:
Eh ? Where was the ramen shop ?

Matsumoto Jun :
Wasn't it 'David' ? (*laugh*)

Inoue Mao :
Totally wrong ! (*laugh*)
It was a ramen shop at Shinjuku.

David Ito :
Why wasn't it at my place ?
(I think a lot of people know of it already but David-san runs a ramen shop called 'David'.)

Inoue Mao :
The subject didn't come up at all, I didn't know (*laugh*)

David Ito :
From now on, you've been informed (*laugh*)

Inoue Mao :
For me, the feeling didn't really set in, but now seeing Doumyouji Tsukasa for the first time in a year, "Aaa~, it's Doumyouji Tsukasa. It's the real thing, " I felt like that.

David Ito :
Before this, you met each other during 'introductions'. Meeting F4 after all this time, how was it ?

Matsumoto Jun :
We took advantage of appearing in a program together. Now everyone has their own activities, all the members were scattered busy with their own stuff, so I think the timing of the program proved valuable to us. The other day when we first met after all this time, more and more the feeling of it has begun came. I think if we work together, the good vibes will just reverberate and it will continue to be reciprocated ne.

David Ito :
That's right ne. I think the viewers at home will surely want to watch life-sized F4.

Matsumoto Jun :
Yes, we will be showing that !

David Ito :
Well then, Inoue-san. When you met F4, you met the Makino family also right. How was it ?

Inoue Mao :
Regarding the Makino family, there isn't a feeling of it being a year ne. Regarding F4, I see them on television too...

Matsumoto Jun :
The television audience ? (*laugh*)

David Ito :
Ever since we came here, we're under the gaze of television audience ne ? (*laugh*)

Inoue Mao :
More and more everyone in F4 are getting into it, polishing themselves up for the role. For me too, even now I'm polishing up my 'poor' self and putting it on.

David Ito :
This question comes from Hokuriku Broadcasting, the rumours that the honeymoon will be in Saturn, is it true ?

Matsumoto Jun :
Thank you for coming all the way here from the countryside (*laugh*)
Saturn was it ?

David Ito :
Do you know why it's Saturn ? Do you know why such a question was asked ?

Matsumoto Jun :
.. Eeh ?

David Ito :
I think that maybe Mao-san knows, that being the case, let's ask Matsumoto Jun-san ! Why is it Saturn ?

Matsumoto Jun :
Why is it ?

David Ito :
You, what was the present you gave ?

Matsumoto Jun :
Present given. Saturn pendant !
... Aaa~ !!

David Ito :
That's right !

Matsumoto Jun :
The honeymoon in Saturn was about that ne.

(at that moment, Mao-chan said "Thanks" while looking at the Saturn pendant...)

Matsumoto Jun :
Eh ? You're wearing it ? Those aren't your normal clothes ? It's from the movie wardrobe ?? (*laugh*)

Inoue Mao :
Wait a minute ! (*laugh*)
I was at a loss too, this scene was wholly decided by David-san and Doumyouji Tsukasa. I didn't know if I was supposed to dress up or not...

David Ito :
Those, are pyjamas aren't they ? (*laugh*)

Inoue Mao :
Noo~ ! It's supposed to be like Tsukushi !!

David Ito :
Let's go back to question at hand ne. The rumours that the honeymoon will be in Saturn, is it true ?

Matsumoto Jun :
Well I think if Hokuriku Broadcasting is going to make such a program, I'd want to go to Saturn !
Please prepare the money.

David Ito :
When the time comes, yoroshiku onegai shimasu. Well then, questions from everyone please.

hanadan010308d.jpg

Q. This time it's really the Final, Inoue Mao-san, Matsumoto Jun-san and while we're at it, David Ito-san, please tell us about the enthusiasm for this movie.

David Ito :
Wait a minute, wait ! .... Ah well, a question for me while you're at it, I'm okay with that (*laugh*)

Inoue Mao :
I think we have come to this because many people loved it, to the people who have to go to the trouble of paying to watch in a theater, I hope to make a production that meets or even exceeds your expectations. There are also new cast members, 'A new HanaDan' and being 'the last HanaDan', we're going to make something appropriate for the occasion.

Matsumoto Jun :
For me, same as already mentioned there. Yes.

Inoue Mao :
Unacceptable ! Do it properly, please.

Matsumoto Jun :
Opening in the summer, I think it contains something for everyone in the family to enjoy. I want everyone to look forward to it and I will do my best ! David-san also seems enthusiastic right ?

David Ito :
I'm always thinking about it. HYD 2 more than HYD 1, Final more than HYD 2, that's the kind of feeling that will answer to everyone's question. Next question ?

Q. Your impressions of the scenario when you got it ?

Inoue Mao :
It's an original this time. What kind of feeling is it going to be this time ? As I read it, I was a little anxious but it's related to Part 1 and 2, it met everyone's expectations. Within that, the original work start to slowly unfurl. It's really interesting, what everyone will like depend from person to person.

Matsumoto Jun :
I think it's going to be rigorous. Going to Las Vegas, going to Hong Kong, before that, other stage work. Since it's the Final, I'll do whatever it takes, but when I received a bulky book, and thought of the rigorous days waiting ahead, I wondered if I was going to be alright. But this is the team that managed to tide over that even in part 1 and 2, so in order not to lose, no matter how harsh things are, I'll face it with a smile and weather it right to the very end. The book itself was a very interesting book. It manages to tie up part 1 and part 2 together, I think in the end it's going to be an appropriate ending for it. Please look forward to it. The expectations will be met I think. Probably ! (*laugh*)

つくし&F4香港で集結&大パニック!!世界中を巻き込んで豪華絢爛に撮影中!!
08.2/29(金)

つくし&F4香港で集結&大パニック!!
さらに…ラスベガスカジノで大博打!砂漠で迷子?
世界横断約25000km!世界中を駆け巡り撮影快調!!

あれから4年…。
「私、道明寺司は、来年の春、正式に結婚することにしました!相手は、オレの心を捉えて離さない運命の女、牧野つくしです!!」
日本のホテルでは全世界に向け、盛大な記者会が行われていた。その後行われた道明寺家、牧野家が揃った結納の席で、道明寺家へ嫁ぐ者に代々受け継がれてきた、推定100億円ともいわれるティアラ“ビーナスの微笑”を婚約の証として贈られる。その夜、二人の前に黒尽くめの謎の男が現われ、ティアラを奪って逃げていった!
一体目的は?犯人は一体誰なのか?
つくしと司はティアラを取り戻すためにラスベガス、香港と世界中をかけめぐる!

パート2となるリターンズから4年後が描かれる完全オリジナルストーリー。
2月11日~16日まで香港ロケ、翌17日に香港からロサンゼルス→ラスベガス入りし、都市部や砂漠地帯などで現在もロケが行われています。
ファイナルと名づけられた今作にふさわしく、成田→香港→ロサンゼルス→ラスベガス→砂漠→ロサンゼルス→成田と、移動総距離約25000km!
世界中を巻き込んで豪華絢爛に撮影中!!


【キャストコメント】

◎井上真央(牧野つくし役)コメント
私は、リターンズに続きがあるなんて全然思ってもいなかったので、映画でファイナルになると聞いたときは寂しいとか終わっちゃうというより、“またやるの”って感じでした(笑)。けど、映画化されるということはそれだけ皆さんに支持して頂いたからこそ。すごく感謝しています。今回は、映画版ということもあり、花男ワールドがパワーアップしてかなり豪華です。物語の展開も「花男」だけに、最後までどうなるかわからないですが、見終わった後に“ああ、楽しかった!とか、元気になった、勇気をもらえた”と言ってもらえる作品になっていると思います。
香港、ラスベガス…と海外でのロケもあったので是非楽しみにしていてください!

◎松本 潤(道明寺司役)コメント
「1」、「2」とテレビでやってきたもののファイナルを映画で作るということで、僕らの作る「花より男子」の世界観の中で、今できる最高傑作を作ろうと、みんなで撮影しているところです。今回は、アクションシーンや香港、ラスベガスと海外に飛びだしたり大変なところが沢山ある。撮影の山場はあと3つ、4つはあるでしょうね。目白押しです。
すごく楽しい気持ち、あったかい気持ちになれる作品になっていると思うので、ぜひデカいスクリーンの劇場で見てほしいですね。“やっぱりテレビでよかったじゃん”って思うような内容ではなく、ちゃんと映画館に足を運んでよかったなって作品になると思います!

◎小栗 旬(花沢類役)コメント
香港は初めてです。(空港での熱烈な歓迎を受けて)ファンの距離が近いっていうのは、味わいました。ファンの人から「オグリー」って呼ばれてました。今、東京では全然違う役をやっているので、花沢類に戻れるかなって不安もあったんですけど、「2」以来久しぶりに5人での芝居に入ってみたら、“意外とできるじゃん!”みたいな感じだったから、ちょっとホッとしました。それに、香港で初めて5人がそろって、懐かしいなって感じでした。「ファイナル」はとことんセレブになるとこまできたな、みたいな感じはありますね。「1」、「2」とやってきたファイナルというものにふさわしいスケール感はあると思います。

◎松田翔太(西門総二郎役)コメント
「ファイナル」の台本を読んだときは、あまりのスケールの大きさに、もう「花男」じゃないなと思いました。「花より男子」という名の、F4とつくしが出ている新しい作品だと思います。
慣れたキャストとスタッフなので、クランクインとかいわゆる新しい作品に入るときの緊張感があまりなかったです。でも、香港に来たことはすごく新鮮です。役の設定だと、香港には何回も来ているだろうし、それが当たり前なんだろうけど、僕にとっては“香港だ!!”っていう新鮮な気分です。

◎阿部 力(美作あきら役)コメント
香港ロケの初日に、美作としてはいちばん大きな見せ所のアクションシーンがあったので、香港のスタッフやアクション監督がいて、まさしく香港だなって感じがしましたね。“本当に「花男」なの?”みたいな(笑)。
今回の撮影ではじめて銃を使いました。こっちでは本物の銃を使うんですよ。すごく重かったし、音がすごい。実弾のように横から薬莢が飛び出るんですよ。同じドラマを2回も一緒にやるってことは滅多にないと思うんですけど、さらにまた映画で一緒にできるというのは、うれしくて楽しい。久しぶりに実家に帰ったような感じですね。

Tsukushi & F4 gathering in Hong Kong & big panic !! Involved in magnificent filming around the world !!
29th February 2008

Tsukushi & F4 gathering in Hong Kong & big panic !!
Furthermore... big gambling in Las Vegas casino ! Lost in the desert ?
They crossed about 25 000km across the world !
Running around the whole world, filming went smoothly !!


290308c.jpg

Four years on...
"I, Doumyouji Tsukasa, have decided to formally be married next spring ! The other party is the one who has captured my heart, the woman fated to be with me, Makino Tsukushi !!"
It took place in front of a grand assembly of reporters at a hotel in Japan, a statement meant for the whole world. After that, the Doumyouji and Makino family assembled together and during the engagement ceremony exchange of gifts, the gift that is inherited from generation to generation and is to be given to the person marrying into the Doumyouji household came. It is an estimated 10 billlion yen tiara, called the Venus Smile, and to be presented as proof of the engagement. After that, a mysterious man in black appeared in front of the two of them, snatched the tiara and ran away with it !
What on earth for ? Who on earth was the man ?
To get the tiara back, Tsukushi and Doumyouji runs around to Las Vegas, Hong Kong and throughout the world !

Four years after HYD Returns, the story is completely an original one.
From the 11th to 16th February, in Hong Kong. The following day on the 17th, from Hong Kong to Los Angeles → to Las Vegas, in the city as well as the desert, and even now filming is taking place.
To call something like this Final would be appropriate, Narita → Hong Kong → Los Angeles → Las Vegas → Desert → Los Angeles → Narita, we covered a total distance of 25 000 km !

Going around the whole world, what a magnificent filming !

【Cast comments】

◎ Inoue Mao (Makino Tsukushi) comment
I didn't think at all that Returns would continue. When I heard that it was going to be a movie, rather than feeling like oh the loneliness has ended, it was more like an "Again eh" sort of feeling (*laugh*). But, the only reason that it's being made into a movie is because of everyone's support. I'm really grateful. This time for the movie version, it'll be wonderful because we will power-up the HanaDan world. The development in the story, being HanaDan, you won't know what will happen till the very end but after you've watched it you will say something like "Aaah it was fun !" and you become uplifted, and receive courage, I think that's the kind of work it's going to turn out to be.
Hong Kong, Las Vegas... there was all this filming abroad, so please look forward to it !

◎ Matsumoto Jun (Doumyouji Tsukasa) comment
1 and 2 was on television but Final being made into a movie, we want to make the best possible work we can during the making of the Hana Yori Dango world, this is what everyone is working on during filming. This time, there are things like actions scenes, we've ventured abroad to Hong Kong and Las Vegas for filming abroad. There are also many difficult scenes. There's more than 3 or 4 turning points in the movie. There was a lot of jostling.
It's really fun, I think it's a going to be a movie with a lot of warm feelings. You'll definitely want to watch it in the big screen of the theater ne. "Just as expected, it's not satisfying to just watch it on tv" that kind of thought. I think it's going to be the kind of movie that would make you glad you got on your feet and head to the theater to watch properly !

◎ Oguri Shun (Hanazawa Rui) comment
It's the first time I've been to Hong Kong. We received such an ardent welcome at the airport. Being so close to th fans, I relished it. The fans called out "Oguri". Now in Tokyo, I'm playing a totally different role, so returning to a Hanazawa kind of role, I felt a little anxious but when I heard the 5 of us were getting together again after HYD2, "Unexpected !" that's the kind of feeling, then it turned to a sort of relief. In addition, when the 5 of us first got together in Hong Kong, it felt nostalgic. Final is going to have a thoroughly celebrity-like air, it's going to feel like that ne. HYD1, HYD 2 and to turn to Final, I think there is a good feeling of scale in the progression.

◎ Matsuda Shouta (Nishikado Soujiroh) comment
When I read the scenario for Final, the scale was so much bigger, I thought it wasn't HanaDan anymore. Known from the Hana Yori Dango name, F4 and Tsukushi are going to come out with a brand new production.
Although it was a familiar cast and staff, it felt like we're working on something new during the crank-in and I felt nervous. But coming to Hong Kong was something fresh. When it comes to establishing the role, I felt it many times in Hong Kong. Of course, this is natural but for me, I keep thinking "Wow, it's Hong Kong!" it was a really fresh kind of feeling.

◎ Abe Tsuyoshi (Mimasaka Akira) comment
On the first day of filming in Hong Kong, because Mimasaka had an opportunity to be involved in a big action scene, the Hong Kong staff in charge of the action scene said it was definitely going to be a Hong Kong kind of scene. "This is really HanaDan isn't it ?" that's what it turned out though (*laugh*)
This is the first time we're filming handling guns. We really used real guns you know. It was really heavy, and the sound it made was amazing. Using real ammo, it popped out from the side after use. I think it's not often that you get to be in the same drama together twice, what more being able to make a movie together. I'm happy and it's fun. It's like the feeling you get when you go back to your parent's house after a long while.

Hello !! Today too thanks for everything !! Yesterday we had filming done at a school in Tokyo for the drama Puzzle !! On the internet, TV Asahi recruited extras on its homepage, and yesterday many extras participated in the filming !! The extras were filming in the cold, and they stayed right to the end, for that thank you very much !!
After that, I went to eat with my friends who I have not seen in a long while !! Meeting again after such a long while made me nervous but it was really fun (^O^)/
Today's a rest day, so I'm thinking of going to the beauty/hair salon.

花より男子~ファイナル~ Las Vegas ①
2008年02月29日 13:26

シルク・ドゥ・ソレイユのショー「LOVE」を観劇。
グラミーをとったこともあり、チケットは売り切れでキャンセル待ち。
なんとか手に入って観れた真央ちゃんは、帰りにお土産ショップでビートルズグッズも買っていました。

LasVegasでは何日かOFFがあるので、そこで観たいショーが他にもあるとのこと。
つかの間の休みで疲れをとってリフレッシュして、後半のかなりハードなスケジュールを乗り切るぞ!!
真央ちゃん、初めてのカジノ体験もあるので、その報告はまた後日…。

Hana Yori Dango ~Final~ Las Vegas ①
29th February 2008 13:26

We went to the theater to watch Cirque de Soleil's show LOVE.
It had won a Grammy and the tickets were sold out. We were on the waiting list, waiting for any cancellation.
Somehow the tickets became available and Mao-chan got to watch it. She came back with Beatles paraphernalia souvenirs she bought from the shop.

No matter how many off days she has in Las Vegas, there are more shows she wants to watch.
The brief moment of rest 'refreshes' and eases the fatigue, helping her tide over the hard schedule in the second half !!
Mao-chan also had her first experience of a casino, that report for another day...
